    Workhorse - Stuck Button when Shorted

    Well, I went to the site, to find instructions for taking the switch apart. Seems the site is acting goofy. I was surprised to see the Workhorse listed as still available. But when I tried to add to cart, I got a blank page. Ooooh, I'd love to get another one. But Workhorse Instructions is a...

    got both my new ELA V2 and work horse telescope today.. questions about cleaning contacts.

    Oh, I suppose anything that has iron in it will, over time, oxidize to some extent. I imagine that with stainless steel, it's an extremely slow process. Probably depends, too, on the carbon and chromium content, as well as other elements used in the alloy.

    Workhorse - Stuck Button when Shorted

    Yeah, a shorted coil is a bad thing all by itself. :P But I found it odd that when it happened, the button on my Workhorse stuck in the depressed state. Wasn't difficult to unstick it - just twisted the top tube, but nonetheless, just weird. Hands-down, this is the nicest tail switch I have, so...

    got both my new ELA V2 and work horse telescope today.. questions about cleaning contacts.

    I've wondered about Deox-It myself, as I have it on hand. Considering its intended use, I can't imagine it being bad for the contacts, but then I'm not a chemist. I found the problem with Noalox is that it seperates in the tube, and over time you get more of the carrier than you do the...

    what to clean my ss mods with?

    For just the exterior, I would think any light metal polish would work. I use Blue Magic on my other mechs (chrome, brass) and it works fine. David has already warned against using anything abrasive on contacts, but I can't imagine it bothering the outside surfaces. I'd be curious what others think.

    Mile High Vaper's Festival June 27th!

    2nd time for the Festival. We've had lots of get-togethers. Used to go to The Fowl Line in Castle Rock, and a couple places in Co Springs too. Don't know if that all stopped happening - anything announced on Facebook, I won't see it. But we were getting big crowds - too big for restaurants...

    More things I miss.

    Only my 2nd visit since the changeover, and so far, I'm mainly missing a login link on the main forum page. So far, I'm able to login only by attempting an action that requires that I login, then a get a link to the login page. Also, apparently theres so much scripting going on, that I can type...

    Somewhere inside the wrapper, within whatever else the wrapping/labeling company adds to it, it's likely very close to a 65mm cell. I think I'm going to try the Samsung INR18650 25R available from Xtar Direct. I'lll wait a few days to order, as I just paid off the CC completely, and I want to...

    The Panasonic CGR18650 is quite a bit longer than "normal" -- uh, I can't say I really know what "normal" is, because variance in battery length is a given. So, 65mm is something of a nominal length. That Panasonic, protected, is almost 70mm. Any of the protected batteries will be a little...

    Just unboxed my Workhorse Telescopic. Even at full price, I'd be highly impressed. This is truly fine workmanship. I will have to find other batteries though. The Panasonic CGR protected are too long. I'm guessing even the flat-top version. Have an AW in the charger right now, will see how that...

    Doomsday Preppers Ecig Checklist

    I fully expect the Workhorse to be usable as a kubotan, and still keep vaping! Uh ... is it possible to terminate a zombie with kubotan techniques? As part of the ham radio hobby, I'm already working on off-grid power, so keeping my batts charged is covered. But it might be a bit more...
